Where to get my CTS-V tuned?
 
Motoring Unlimited? I put a simple intake on it and I'm already throwing codes... codes that I'm not supposed to be throwing. I can't imagine the headers are going to help things. Lean bank 1 and 2.

Anyone specialize on these things?

LOL! You picked up a CTS-V? When!?! Jesus....that thing is a monster! Give MU a shot..maybe they'll be able to help you.

I had great luck with mail-order tunes when I had a Magnuson-supercharged '05 CTS-V. A guy named "Stealth-V" on the Cadillacforums.com boards. Not sure if he's still around but I know there are many tuners over there on those boards for the new CTS-V.

Otherwise, MU is where my EVT700 goes...;)

Thanks guys, I go there for everything else... go figure they know CTS-V's as well! lol... they're the ones who'll be putting the headers on.

hilarious

I had to get something that was more kid-friendly!

Thanks... turned out to be an installation issue.. someone (me) didn't tighten down some clamps properly. Whoopsie. I got it all figured out, and will see what happens after MU installs my headers in a few months.

They say you don't need a tune for that yet either, but when I change the SC pulley out I'll definitely need to do something.

Good to see ya at Metro Jason!

The CTS-V is virtually the same as the LS9 in the ZR1 and the upcoming ZL1 Camaro. I highly recommend that you consider Wong Performance Engineering in Vancouver with modding your car. He is the premier PNW expert with LS based engines. He is highly respected on the Corvette Forum, LS1Tech Forum and LSXNation Forum. But the rep is there and he probably would become a supporter if this gets out. PM me if you cannot find contact info or want more information on him.

Bird poop is gone! hilarious

Thought you were going with white stripes? Did you change to gold/bronze instead so it'd be more visible?

The white looked "crappy" :)

I'm going to continue the bronze theme to the calipers and a few things on the interior.

Ah, so you're the owner parking this beast at Alki and the Alaska Junction. I love seeing this car, if I were to pick a CTS-V, this is exactly how I'd get it - white wagon with black wheels. So hot. :cool:

Thanks! Yeah, I live on Alki... so I'm in the junction/west seattle daily (work a bit south of there).

I miss my Porsche, but the V moves the kids around a lot easier.

You sold the Porsche?!?!? Agghhhhhh! Bummer...I guess it's time to change your avatar then. :(
